Default FS: 1954 Epiphone Century/ES-150 SOLD!

I posted this as I was rebuilding it. Now I need some money for another guitar.
This started as a 1954 Epiphone Century. When it arrived, it needed a neck reset, and some TLC. NONE of the parts are original, and it now has a mix of new and vintage parts. The pickup is a 3-point mount Jason Lollar CC pickup. The tuners are late 60s/early 70s Klusons with double ring tips. The bridge is a 50s Gibson. The tailpiece is new. The knobs are from an old Crosley radio. This guitar has been rebound. Its missing the heel cap binding/plastic. Original finish. Missing the Epi tin badge. This is a cheap way to get into a Golden Era archtop. Get your Charlie Christian on for only $750 plus shipping. No case.

Very cool. I've also got the same Lollar CC in one guitar and find it to be an impressive pickup.

Somewhat intrigue by this guitar.

I once had an old laminated body Epiphone Century that I thought did not have any top braces. Does the Century you put the Lollar CC in have top braces?

And what kind of glue did you use when you reset that neck?
